My book arrived a few days ago along with pen, CD, pin badge, bookmark stretch goals.
Very impressive, not just excellent images, the editorial is interesting and well written. _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

Good stuff! Hopefully the Brian Bagnall book won't be much longer And then we'll have to Kickstart the second half to be published At least the story from 1987 to 1994 is available to the backers as an e-book. _________________ "Art challenges technology.

Does it feature Napalm from Clickboom!? All these type of books seem to leave it out! _________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art." John Lasseter, Co-Founder of Pixar Animation Studios |

Do you know if the book will be available to buy elsewhere? I missed backing this one and would really love it. _________________ Live Long and keep Amigaing!

You can hit the pledge button I believe and it takes you to a package deal to buy it with the extra goodies too. _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

I guess I should have stumped up the Ł100 for the Review backing tier and written my own review! Those poor Slovakian programmers at Ablaze Entertainment get almost no credit for the Amiga's best RTS game. It's a crime! It's like the Clickboom! lady steals the show

The visual compendium is a much thicker book but the pictures and editorial are of equal quality. _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |
